the long Sangre de Christie range,
whose peaks, with those of Ouray and
the nearer mountains, glisten with I'M
usual brightness because of the late
heavy SHOWS upon them. These sharp,
clear-cut and dazzling pyramids stretch
away to the south until sky and snowy
peak commingle.
Meanwhile our train moves steadily
down the face of the mountain in a
zig-zag course. The forward section,
which may be three fourths of a mile
in advance, crawls back and forth be-
meath us, sometimes going the same
way as our train and sometimes in ex-
actly the opposite direction, so wind
ing is the road. In fact at one point,
three parallel tracks are plainly seen
below on the side of the mountain, and
the attention of the passengers is di-
vided between wonder and awe at the
grandeur of the mountain scenery and
amazement at the engineering skill
that planned and the iudomitable pluck
that built such road as the Denver
g. Rio Grande through the Black Can
yon and over the Marshall Pass.
All drew long breath when at four
d. m. the train ran into the little town
of Salida at the base of the mountain
four thousand feet lower than the pass
where it was one hour before. Here
we "camped" on siding for the night.
Following down the valley of the
Arkansaw river Wednesday morning,
with the silvery peaks of the Sangre
de Christie range still in sight much of
the way, the river and the railroad
soon come into narrow limits, and by
ten o'clock we are fairly in the Grand
Canyon of the Arkansaw. Here the
stupendOus cliffs of the Black Canyon
through which we passed only the day
before are exceeded in height and
abruptness. Mountains of rock a
thousand feet high, run up perpendic-
ularly until the head is dizzy and the
neck aches in trying to see their tops !;
for it should be remembered that this
gorge, which contains both the river
and the railroad, is not as wide as an
ordinary carriage road. For miles on
miles shelf has been made for the
railroad down near the bed of the riv-
er, until finally the road comes to a
narrow gorge where a mountain of SOL
id, perpendicular rock on each side
disputes the passage of anything more
than the narrow river which evidently
found it's way here by long ages of
constant wear. Here the ends of heavy
iron trusses are embedded in the rock
each side the river and the railroad
track is swung out over the rushing
stream for about 300 feet This is the
Royal Gorge.
The Denver & Rio Grande railway
advertise to be "The Scenic Route of
the World" If the writer of this let
ter could paint with words the ride of
the past two days in One-half its won
drOus beauty and grandeur, the reader
would readily admit the claim.

The Coughing Habit.
Health and Home.

Coughing is often under control of
the will and the result of habit. There
are many people who consume small
portion of a lifetime in unnecessary
coughing. At first little irritation is
felt, cough is set up, and habit keeps
it going until the irritation provoked
becomes a real and serious disease.
Through force of sympathy coughing
oftens becomes contagious. This can
be well illustrated in scloolroom of
restless boys and girls on cold win
ter's day. Let one child set the ball
rolling, when the teacher addresses the
schOol-another child takes up the
musical note, then another, and still
another, until the teachers voice is
AS powerless as if he were i'm a din of
artillery. The teacher brings the rul-
er to the desk, and commands this
noise to stop. Then for an instant an
eloquent silence prevails. In church
we may sometimes observe the same

The walking in Greenland is not all
that it might be at present, the cracks
i'm the sidewalk sometimes expanding
to the distance of several miles. The
ice is also reported as quite cold and
the water unusually wet. Later on,
however, the adventurous gentleman
may confidently be expected to sit
astride of an iceberg fishing for the
gamey wafrns in Symmes's Hole, with
a fishing pole consisting of the centre
of things in general, rugged with silk
line and fly hooks.

had pet cough for years, strikes up
coughing strain, which is soon fol-
lowed, as if in chorus, by many other
members. The poor preacher then
wages an unequal contest, and may as
well stop preaching. These facts
should be ample evidence, that cough
ing is an act under control of the will
in very many cases. In such cases a
little application of "mind cure" can
be made effective. The family physi-
clan can often cure chronic coughs, not
by prescription, but simple COM
mand to stop them.

Extraordinary Asparagus.
". Y. Tribune.


A new and extraordinary fine variety
of asparagus has just been discovered
on the steppes of Akhal Tekiz, recent
ly annexed by Russia. Though grow
ing perfectly wild, it attains size un-
known in civilized countries. The
stalks are said to be nearly as thick rs
mans arm, and they grow to height
of five or six feet. This asparagus is
tender aud delicious in flavor. One
stalk will supply ten Russian soldiers
with all they can eat.
1t is probable that the sale of cleo
margarine will cease altogether in New
York. Forty eight dealers and manu-
facturers in that city walked up to the
bar of justice, one day last week,
and paid fines amounting in all to
$4,000. This was done on advice oi
the cou nsel, who informed the unhap-
ply law breakers that the last court OF
appeals decision left them no chance
of escape.

RAISE FINE TOBACCOI
No Other Pays /!

Every planter knows it does not pay to raise
common tobacco; the marx cts of the world
are overstocke ed and there is not demand
for it. 1t should be the aim of every one
then to raise fine tobacco and no efforts
should be spared to that end. The stock of
bright and fine tobaccos, are not to be had
out of present crop to supply one-half of the
demand; consequently many manufacturers
are using substitutes for our bright tobacco.
So this will be the year for our people to
make an extra effort to raise a fine crop,
and in order to do this successfully, they
must plan. their finest lands, prepare and
manure it well, and use judicioisly the very
best Tobacco Fertilizers they can get

been sold upon this market that has given
